Ion® 30ACi+
Sump Pump Battery Backup AC System
Features 1/3 HP cast iron pump for day-to-day runs on household power, with automatic AC power backup to safeguard pumping during outages.
Heavy-duty pump constructed for standalone primary and battery backup operations. Configuration flexibility also supports installing as a dedicated battery backup alongside other pumps.
Runs on stored battery backup in absence of main power source. Converts 12-volt DC power into 120-volt AC power to offset supply disruptions (requires one AGM battery, available separately).
Rated to pump 44 GPM (at 10' of head). Preserves high pumping capacity without gradual performance loss, even while running on battery backup. Energy-efficient pump only draws 4.0 amps.
Solid-state Ion+ Switch operation maintains precise level control without any moving parts or contact points. Built-in audible and visual alarm identifies high water level detection.

Real-Time Statuses
Integrated with Ion+ Switch
Multi-color LEDs display key application details. Helps end users easily identify real-time statuses, including from the opposite end of dark basements.
- Green light identifies utility power is available.
- Orange light identifies pump activation.
- Red light identifies high water detection.
- Speaker for audible high water alarm beneath LEDs.
Power+ AGM Battery
One Deep Cycle Battery
Supports harsh sump environments and heavy pump use with an average service life that doubles standard backup pump batteries.
- One 12 volt Power+ AGM battery supplies DC power to the system inverter for generating utility-grade AC power.
- True deep cycle battery withstands excessive depletions/charging.
- Comes fully charged and easy to install. End-user friendly with zero maintenance required.
- Not included with system. Available for individual battery selection from Ion Technologies product suppliers and installers.
Power Inverter
800 VA Inverter/Charger
Converts stored DC power from the Power+ AGM to 120-volt AC to supply the system pump during power outages. Allows pump to operate without gradual performance loss and keep up with high water demand.
- Supplied auxiliary AC power maintains high pumping capacity during power outages.
- Automatically charges battery when main power supply is restored. Stays fully charged while on standby.
- Bypasses battery while system pump runs on available utility power during use as a day-to-day primary.

The Ion 30ACi+ is an advanced sump pump powering system with dual-source AC automatic powering designed for high-performance basement flood protection. The system features our 1/3 HP cast iron sump pump configured to run as a primary-caliber backup during power outages with the capabilities to also operate as a full-service primary for everyday use.
The single-pump primary and backup sump pump offers a convenient all-in-one system installation for new construction or when replacing existing equipment, and is especially ideal for narrow sump pits that only fit one pump.
Rated at 44 GPM of pumping capacity (at 10 feet of total dynamic head), the 120-volt system pump runs on standard AC electricity from one of two configured power sources. In absence of utility power supply, the pump runs on emergency AC power converted from deep cycle battery (requires one 12-volt Power+ AGM, purchased separately). While conventional DC backup systems gradually pump less water the longer an outage continues, the Ion 30ACi+ maintains peak pumping capacity while operating to meet or exceed demand.
Using available utility power, the durable cast iron high-capacity pump will also operate as the everyday primary. The system is designed to only consume battery when power becomes unavailable. By avoiding unnecessary depletion, the battery stays at 100 percent for whenever the next outage may occur.
Further enhancing pump reliability is the Ion+ Switch, which comes standard with the Ion 30ACi+. The stationary Ion+ Switch operates with no moving parts, and comes integrated with a high water alarm. Its proprietary solid-state sensing technology, first introduced with the original Ion Switch in 2010, has become the proven replacement for mechanical switches commonly attributed to pump failures and unnecessary flooding.
The Ion 30ACi+ can also operate as the secondary pump in applications with a separately installed primary to provide dedicated backup when inoperable from either mechanical or power failure.
